Life is a little more special thanks to the Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden. This multi-award-winning facility is packed with exhibits, events, and activities that no two visits are ever the same. Our real estate agents share details about the must-see attractions at Lewis Ginter along with can't-miss events on February's calendar.
The Garden's namesake was a Richmond businessman and philanthropist who in 1895 purchased nine acres of what had once been Powhatan Indian hunting grounds. Ginter's niece, Grace Arents, bequeathed the land to Richmond, stipulating that it be used for a botanical garden to honor her uncle.
